RINO (Republican in Name Only) What trump calls NE1 in GOP who opposes him. On 6/22 I was called RINO by person who 1) appears 2 B a troll & 2) is ignorant of IN GOP corp docs & history. IN GOP: not-4-profit incorp’d 2005 by Terre Haute/former Cit United atty J. Bopp. 1/4
IN GOP’s articles of incorp’n/rules don’t mention ideology but insulate entity that can’t be taken over as it was in 2005. Plus statutes give GOP automatic powers as one of 2 “major” political parties. As late as 2006, Sen Lugar (R-IN) was moderate/progressive on many issues: 2/4
favored a scientific approach to climate change, had an “F” rating from the NRA, was in favor of the DREAM Act & worked for nuclear disarmament. The far right took IN GOP. Statutes give them power. We have to take the party back. It’s a corporate entity that has no ideology. 3/4
The Framers opposed political parties. Parties shouldn’t be able to insulate themselves fr control by voters. We need to change State laws. I’m Mark Small, pro environment, pro-choice GOP candidate for IN House Distr 86. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 4/4
